NEW iPads, Manti Temple Trip and a New
Companion from Germany Tomorrow!
Well, we
finally got our new iPads this week! It
comes with a lot of
restrictions
but it also has so many tools that we as missionaries can use!
So many
videos to share! It's awesome!
This week
has been crazy busy and awesome!
We found
some really great new investigators...well actually they kinda found us! Ha but
they are
awesome! I wish I could tell you every detail of how they found us, but that would
take way
too long! Just know that these people
are prepared to hear
the gospel
and I feel so much love for them.
We have
one lady who is older and has been taking lessons FOREVER but
she would
never get baptized... But on Saturday we were visiting her
and she
finally decided to get baptized...THIS SATURDAY. So we have a
lot to do
before her baptism this week but I'm so excited! It's a
miracle!
And
earlier last week, a few couples from the stake I am serving over went on a
trip to
New Zealand . One of them was one of our ward mission leaders
and his
wife. Well they got in a bad car wreck and 3 of the members
from
Richfield Stake died. Our ward mission leader is the only one that
survived
and he was the driver. It was so tragic and sad. But it's amazing to
see the
type of community that Richfield has. Every person we
meet...member
or not...is concerned and praying for the families. It's
so sad but
it's bringing this community together. It's amazing to see
the love
they have for each other even people who don’t know them.
On
Saturday we got to take some recent converts to the temple for the
first time
to do baptisms. We drove to Manti and it was awesome!! So
happy that
they had a great experience . Royal who is 76 couldn't do the
actual
baptisms so a younger boy did it for him. This boy was baptized
for 31 of
Royal’s family names!! Haha but he did
great. Royals face when he heard his
family
names was priceless. It was the best! And he just stood looking
at the
temple forever because of its beauty. It was a great day!
Well
transfers are this week and I'm staying in Richfield! Sister
Pearson is
going home today :( I'm really going to miss her. I'm going
to Cedar
city for the night and I will meet my new companion tomorrow!
Her name
is Sister Lipke and she's from Germany!! Haha I'm excited to
meet her
and I'll get to show her what Richfield is all about!!
We have
some amazing investigators and they are excited to know more.
I love
sharing this gospel especially seeing people's faces when all of
their
questions are answered through this gospel. It's the best!
It doesn't
happen all the time but when people are truly changed through
Christ
it's the most amazing thing in the world!
I LOVE MY JOB!
Love y'all!
